The tie and dye and batik business in Ghana seem to be collapsing. It was hitherto considered among the best in the country.
With its distinctive and unique designs, the fabrics were highly patronised country-wide and on the international market. However, they have lost their presence on the textiles stands following the introduction of African prints a decade ago.
Producers of the fabrics say the taste for foreign goods and the influx of foreign textiles on the local market, account largely for this.
